Microsoft Teams Can Host Graduation Ceremonies with 20,000 People

Microsoft Teams is offering virtual graduation ceremonies, which can host up to 20,000 people. The virtual graduation ceremonies will run from the beginning of May until July First. Ceremonies can be hosted by any organization with a Microsoft Office 365 AI license, which is offered to universities at no cost. Organizations with the license will have the capability to run 50 events at one time, which can have a maximum duration of 16 hours.

Overall the ability to hosts these kinds of events speaks to the capabilities of Microsoft. Additionally, many people who were scheduled to graduate may apricate the virtual ceremony, as large gatherings can no longer take place during COVID-19.
